SpiceJet Ltd. vehemently disputes KAL Airways’ and Kalanithi Maran’s allegations that they are owed Rs. 1,323 crore in damages. These arguments are not only legally baseless but also a rehashing of earlier denials by the Delhi High Court and Arbitral Tribunal.
It is crucial to make the following information clear:
Damages claim repeatedly rejected: During the arbitration proceedings, KAL Airways and Kalanithi Maran first requested damages totaling more than Rs. 1,300 crore. After a comprehensive investigation, a panel consisting of three former Supreme Court judges dismissed this claim.
After that, KAL Airways and Kalanithi Maran filed an appeal with the Delhi High Court’s Single-Judge Bench, requesting the same amount in damages, but the court once more dismissed their request. Interestingly, they decided not to file an appeal with the appellate jurisdiction, and as a result, the case became final. This is a pointless subject that seems to be an attempt to sensationalise the situation and mislead the people.
On May 17, 2024, the Delhi High Court’s Division Bench made a decision that favored SpiceJet and Ajay Singh. After winning its case before the Delhi High Court Division Bench, SpiceJet will now seek a Rs 450 crore reimbursement.
